Default My Honchuggy...

Pretty simple build. Just needing to get around to making some inner fenders. Love the FubarCrawlers Delrin Beadlock Rings. I had 2.2's on here but couldn't get away from the 1.9 look with the tall MT BC. The position of the batteries makes a world of difference. The center of gravity is so much lower now that I've built those battery trays.

I see what you did with the shock mount.. very nice. I like the way you made stuff work in different areas. Good job.

Looks great! Really like the look of what you've done with the cage. Light bar supports are cool.

Pic request: Can you take a pic of the cage without the spare on?? Thanks.

Ankerman steering knuckle . Didn't like the looks of any of the lifts out there, and when I saw the knuckles I thought those would fit perfectly! Thanks!!

Here's some pics without the spare. Those angled pieces are just bolted right to the back of the cab and I drilled holes in them so I can slide the body pins through them on the shock towers.

Looks great man. I think the 1.9's look great. Like that rear shock set up.

YES! I love that you used the camo sheet decal! I got the same thing to use on my body, but couldn't get a color scheme to work, so never did it. Still have the sheet though

Yeah, I put the ankerman knuckles on front and back shock hoops to give that little extra lift and angel. Thanks!

The ankermans give it just enough clearance to let the shocks fully compress.

I was going to put a strip along the bottom that went up to the lower body line. Kind of like a rash guard or w/e

I'm going to have to get another body since HobbyTown has more paint finally
